Delayed Robotech RPG Tactics - Palladium

[buglips*the*goblin]

Now that I'm looking at them on a computer, they don't look half bad.

[MonkeySloth]

I can see what you're saying about the jet mode but the robot mode looks great.

[buglips*the*goblin]

Chunky Monkey's not a too horrible look anyway. I mean, it was good enough for me to spend grotesque amounts of money on my 1/55 Bandai Valkyries.

[Mortanius]

After seeing the models I am tempted to jump in. Always enjoyed the robotech mechs, and if the do the cyclone I would defiantly pick those up.

[ShadowRaven]

being a major Battletech fan, I am afraid I am going to dive in on this head first without testing the waters. Being an almost equally large Macross fan (damn you HG it's Super Dimensional Fortress Macross, not Robotech) just makes things worse.

Hikaru Ichijyo lover!

Did Buglips want Zentraedi to feature in this prospective KS

 

 

if so we're looking for a happy goblin

[buglips*the*goblin]

That's a fine looking regult. It occurs to me that these mecha should have some decals or stickers included (or available separate) for markings. If I have to try and paint RDF symbols, it's enough to sour me on the deal. They won't look right without them, and trying to paint them is almost guaranteed to look craptacular.

 

However, I can be brought back around if the line produces some neato bioroids or invid. Those are the ones I really want. Macross stuff is overall fairly common, but stuff from Southern Cross or New Generation is ridiculously hard to come by. Every Robotech project starts off with Macross, and you hardly ever see anything from the other two parts.

 

Without a guarantee that we'll see anything from either of those, I won't back.

[Doramos]

You know, they are probably just going to be sneaky and put in the Invid as stretch goals.

[buglips*the*goblin]

That's what I'm counting on. With enough variety from the line, I'd be happy to collect and paint them for its own sake even if I never play the game.

[ShadowRaven]

I am not holding out hopes on seeing any Southern Cross, but that doesn't matter to me. I will still support.

From their blog:

 

The sculpts for the finished Zentraedi Officer’s Pod and Valkyrie in Battloid Mode just came in, along with a few others and . . . WOW. Harmony Gold loved ‘em too, because they have been approved. All sorts of work is in the completion stages for this dynamic product line. As I have said, this is a massive undertaking and it takes time to get it done right. And that’s what everyone at Palladium Books®, Ninja Division, Harmony Gold and Robotech® fans want. Our goal is to produce game pieces, rules and an expanding Robotech® game line that will make fans smile with delight and provide hours and hours of new gaming experiences.

 

 

The Robotech® RPG Tactics™ Kickstarter is coming. This will be a Palladium Books® Kickstarter, but Ninja Division is doing the heavy lifting since they have the superior experience. As soon as these outstanding gentlemen have everything in place to make a rockin’ Kickstarter, we will launch. It is still planned to start mid-April. Yes, that means in something like the next 10 days. We will keep you posted.

'supperior experience' meaning "knows what the heck they are doing" I assume. Still looking forward to seeing the Zentraidi officers pod

[cloudshaper2k]

I'd love to see all three generations get made, because I always like the Logans. But I'll probably focus on building a Zentraedi army. (And I'm with Buglips on the decals. That sounds like a ready made stretch goal.)

 

I just wish they'd get the trigger pulled on this KS.

[Frankthedm]

I'm not really into the idea of giving Palladium any more of my money but goddammit, valkyrie miniatures!

I feel the same way about Soda Pop, so I'm curious just how much Ninja Division is Cipher vs. how much is Soda Pop.
